Abstract:

"As already announced by Paukstadt, Paukstadt & van Schayck (2022a), a first supplement to the taxa of the genus Coscinocera BUTLER, 1879 with the description of a new taxon of the buloloensis-subgroup of the eurystheus-group (sensu Paukstadt, Paukstadt & van Schayk 2022) is published here. C. eitschbergeri sp. nov. is sympatric with C. jayawijayaensis PAUKSTADT & PAUKSTADT, 2022 of the anteus-group in the Pass Valley of the Papua Province of Indonesia. The male holotype is clearly distinct in external and genitalia morphology from C. buloloensis PAUKSTADT & PAUKSTADT, 2022 and related taxa of the eurystheus-group. The male holotype is figured in color dorsally and ventrally as well as the genitalia structures."
